FDC Priorities

FDC’s role and purpose is to provide a leadership role on campuses in the ongoing investigation of University-level teaching and faculty development practice. The office will do so by fostering quality Scholarship of teaching and learning and many other long and short-term approaches. The various programs inculcated in order to achieve the goals are as:

Trainings, Seminars and Workshops

To upgrade the knowledge and skills of faculty members in their field or line of work through participation in trainings, seminars and workshops.

To provide opportunities for faculty members to network with experts and their peers.

Support the faculty members in attending trainings, seminars and workshops.

The trainings, seminars, and workshops referred to in this program are those that lead to the transfer of academic or professional knowledge and skills to the participants.

The seminar, workshop or training must be directly in line with the faculty member’s area of development or line of work and should clearly lead to the upgrading of his/her knowledge or skills.

The faculty member shall submit a post-training report/summary of activities within the training session after returning from the training.

The application of training from FDC must be submitted to the VCA Office at least one week prior to the training/seminar/workshop for approval.
